Introducing n2disk 2.8 with Microburst Detection

Together with PF_RING 6.6, today we also released n2disk 2.8. In this release we introduced support for microburst detection in order to spot traffic bursts, which is crucial in identifying potential capacity issues and troubleshooting packet loss in network equipments. We also improved our “fast” BPF engine extending the supported primitives, and improving the ability to match tunneled traffic. More tools have been added, for playing with the dump set, for instance for moving part of the dump set to an external storage, or deleting PCAP files in a specified time interval.

Below the complete changelog for all details.
